Adding Fluxbox to Mandrake Session Manager
 

hey ppl.

been trying really hard to add fluxbox to the KDE Login Managers.

ie. drop dox dialog with KDE,Gnome,Enlightement, etc.

i was wondering where i can find the file to edit so i can add Fluxbox to the drop down menu.

im currently booting into runlevel3, then i type startx to use fluxbox. :(

i would like to be able to boot into a gui login manager, "kde login manager" and be able to choose which ever wm i want.

thx for reading, please help if you can.

Ok, since your using KDM you can login as root and then type "kcontrol" in an xterm and then in there you can add the fluxbox session to the list.

i figured it OUT!!!!! woohoo...
 

hehe.. i figured it out on my own!!! after ALOT of guessing and messying around.

ok for those who do not know....

here are the steps. no frills straight to the chase. im a noob, bare with me.

im using Mandrake 8.1 with XFree86 4.2.0

im not sure will it work with other distos, give it try i think its the same.

ok.

-using ur fav text editor. type this the following.

NAME=Fluxbox <= replace with ur wm name
ICON=blah.xpm <= replace with ur icon
EXEC=/usr/local/bin/fluxbox <= replace with ur wm
DESC= put a discription here
SCRIPT:
exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox

-save into /etc/X11/wmsession.d/ as 08fluxbox <= replace number with whatever thats not taken, and name of ur wm.

-restart ur comp. thats it. at first i just restarted x, but it does not initial the file till u restart.

done.

:)

Tried all that, but no sign of Flux on the dropdown menu. What gives? Can't see any option in kcontrol either.
